So now we see what the legacy of the McCain campaign has wrought. Instead of the idealized "post-racial" society, a dark undercurrent of racial hatred and violence has been dragged to the surface. From boston.com, via Pam's House Blend:
A Brockton man accused in a rape and double murder allegedly told police he intended to kill as many non-whites as possible, then kill himself, in what he called a fight "for a dying race."
Unfortunately, this guy isn't just another internet tough guy spouting off the latest Stormfront talking points.
He was already accused of killing two Cape Verdean immigrants and raping and seriously wounding another when police uncovered that he had other killings in mind:
According to a police report, Luke told police he was "fighting extinction" of the white race and had stockpiled 200 rounds of ammunition to kill blacks, Hispanics and Jews. He told police he planned to eventually go to a synagogue or school near his home and "kill as many Jews as possible during bingo night," the report said.
"Luke told us that he intended to shoot himself in the head when he was through," the report read.
But here's the part that gets me, aside from the fact that racist morons like this are still breathing our oxygen (those molecules might have been breathed by a black person before, you know).
The 18-page report by Brockton and State Police described Luke an obese, white man who lived with his mother and frequently surfed through racial propaganda on the Internet.
The self-appointed guardian of white racial purity? A basement-dweller who mooches off his mom and surfs the internet all day [disclaimer: I'm not saying anything about his weight, just his failure at life]. It seems like most white supremacists are culled from the dregs of society. I wonder why that... oh yeah. Because they suck at life and need to feel superior to someone that they can scapegoat for their problems.
